Story

Why oh why you say??? Well, it’s been a while since my last challenge (well, I suppose there *have* been other challenges - a pandemic & a third baby…) so it’s about time.. plus, since my last challenge, I started a sparkly new job in the not so sparkly world of Sheffield City Council Special Educational Needs and Disabilities team. This job is HARD - but I LOVE it. We get to support so many families through their SEND journey - this is why I chose Barnardos - they use the money they raise to help so many children and their families across the Uk and indeed, worldwide. They really are AMAZING!! ✨✨✨

So why the marathon? Well, it all started on a Saturday night a few weeks ago watching Strictly with my eldest. It went a bit like this: 

Eva: Mummy, what’s been your biggest challenge? 

Me: Mmmm, probably the Great North Run.

Eva: Isn’t that a half marathon? 

Me: Yup. 

Eva: Why don’t you do a full marathon?

Me: Might do one day. 

Eva: Why not now? 

Me: ………….

And so it began! 🤣🤣🤣

So please please please send pennies if you can. And if you can’t, please send words of support and encouragement.  I am not a natural runner & those dark, cold nights of pounding the pavements are going to be hard - I’m going to have to dig deep - but I know the money raised will make a HUGE difference to the children that Barnardos support 💞💞💞
